Looks like the WGBH logo!

@eljefe247 No. It just showed the words "Creature Feature" on the screen, and it played a song that I believe was the beginning of the Elton John song "Funeral for a Friend," or at least I think that is the name of the song. It was just the opening of the song, played on a synthesizer. I remember it well from the mid and late 1970s and the very early 1980s. The same voice that you hear on the above station ident was the voice that announced "Creature Feature."

@brooke050870 Was it the one with the guy in what looked like a white gorilla suit dancing around to Monster mash?

Does anyone remember from the mid 90's the late night move one they would run? It showed an Owl sitting in a tree, in the background was a house that was all dark except for the living room window that had the flickering light from the TV. It played audio clips from different movies. I would love to see that again, such great memories.

@KodyBoy555 I remember them using this ident beginning in the summer of 1979. I don't remember seeing it before then, and I was in grade school at that time and watched Channel 26 a lot.

It's from 1977 or at least the late 1970s, never really got around to correcting the title of the video.

It reminds me of Phantom of the Opera!

Rotoscoping at its finest

No disrespect and don't mean this in a negative way but Larry's voice always sounded "geeky" to me.lol But yet, it was so unique. It stood out to a lot. Made the station more fun to watch! So, look at my first statement a positive because he has a friendly voice. But I'm trying to look for the news theme this station had in the early 80's. KMPH has an very interesting history. (-:

I honestly believe this is later than 1971 because of the Steve Miller music being used as the underscore which is from 1976 or 1977. And yeah it does look like the WGBH logo.
